on tv. This latest gadget for cracking eggs.
Certainly I’m not the only one who gets caught up in this type of ad . . . but wait . . . there’s more!
Nope, we haven’t bought one (yet) but that extra thingy – that beats the egg while it is still INSIDE the shell? Yeah – that is priceless!
😉
My laptop has been giving me fits all week – I had a popup that kept running saying I had malware and virus-es and . . . ad nauseum. Sigh! Each time I ran my virus checker it said the computer was clear . . . and yet there was that durned popup.
Took it to the ‘puter hospital a couple of days ago – was to be back the next day – should only cost me 1.5 hours of time . . . still there – don’t know the cost – DO know it WAS some sort of virus. The guru is running all sorts of scans and installing new protections and such.
🙁 I am usually so careful.
I take heart in knowing that I am not the only one who has seen this very same thing happen to her computer in the past couple of weeks. Something, somewhere, sometime has latched itself onto our puters and has taken over.
And, nope . . . the three I know about . . . none of us is connected in any way other than knowing each other. We have not emailed back and forth so we have not infected each other.
🙁 I miss my computer. Hubby is loaning me his ancient laptop to play on because I was jonesing so bad – needed my ravelry.com fix and email fix. Thanks, hubbymoose.
Alaskan Purl is holding a yarn giveaway to celebrate her 100th post. Check it out.
Yummy sock yarn in three shades of green. You know you want it. 🙂
And – it’s always fun to find “new” Alaskan blogs – especially when they are wrapped around my favorite passion . . . knitting.
See you there.
A disclaimer right up front . . . I have never seen Firefly – or Serenity. I know – my cult show watching is sadly lacking (also have never seen Lost)
🙂
But, Lessa recently asked me if I would make the Jayne Cobb hat for her friend in California. Seems the friend’s “friend” had stolen his Jayne Cobb hat and a new one was needed in order to bribe the “friend” to get the original back.
I hope it works – just in case, I made two for the friend – they are in the mail and winging their way to CA. The mail clerk took the package from me and said “Oooh, more knits?” Do they know me – or what?
So – here is a picture of me modeling one of the hats at the swim meet Saturday.
Daughter was well pleased with the hats and, during our trip to Homer Saturday, picked up some yarn from the Yummy Yarn Yurt
in colors SHE liked and asked me to make one for her:
Looks to me like she is well pleased. By the way . . . NOBODY can deny Lessa and I are related, can they?
🙂
ooooh – here’s Adam Baldwin discussing the hat – FUNSIES!:
